Love And Creation
Darling, at one time you loved me.
So why don’t you love me anymore?
Creation doesn’t change like love.
The sun shines during the daytime,
And the moon glows at night.
Stars twinkle beyond the black void,
Dark clouds drift across the sky,
The rain falls recurrently,
Rivers flow from the hilly terrains,
Snow whitens the ground,
Pretty flowers bloom in spring,
And little songbirds sing sweetly.
The world is turning, but not for me.
Darling, I unfeignedly miss you.
How I wish creation could renew our love.
...
So why don’t you love me anymore?
Creation doesn’t change like love.
The sun shines during the daytime,
And the moon glows at night.
Stars twinkle beyond the black void,
Dark clouds drift across the sky,
The rain falls recurrently,
Rivers flow from the hilly terrains,
Snow whitens the ground,
Pretty flowers bloom in spring,
And little songbirds sing sweetly.
The world is turning, but not for me.
Darling, I unfeignedly miss you.
How I wish creation could renew our love.

out of the mouth of babes
this is not the best day ever
a deep sadness lingers in your eyes,
but you struggle to bring it to words.
you rest your head in my arms
as I hold you tight and tell you
it's alright to feel what you feel,
but there's times you stare at the floor
with nothing but silent confusion
I wish I could be two places at once
my heart feels like it's being ripped
from my chest, as if the split
was only yesterday's agony.
I remember all the times I failed you
when I didn't come when I said I would,
and I think...

but you struggle to bring it to words.

I wish I could be two places at once

I HUNG THE MOON
I hung the moon
My kids room
Part of it bent
So it went
Bit of a jumble
I mumble
My kids room
Part of it bent
So it went
Bit of a jumble
I mumble

A Wedge of the World
I own a folding screen chiseled
out of teak, painted skimpily,
in that style that does not conceal
the wood grain and the carving,
My desk is built into a corner,
the wooden screen guards my back,
it has shaped me solace, carved
me a small wedge of the world.
Behind me, the family room,
the breakfast meal under covers,
today it is a picture, the table,
past lunch, waits to be visited.
Behind me, television and noise
about the poison in the air,
the noise has curious fingers
that clasp the edge of...

Gentlemen
Little hands around you—solemn soldier toy.
Storms outside surround your sleeping hero boy.
Alas! Amass dear gentlemen,
Your foes now row ashore.
Surprise! All wise and wearied men—again I call you more.
Light the fright in fools afar lest they come here cold.
For daughters and good mothers—the souls not to be sold.
Rise up! All true gentlemen—garner here a horde.
Stones pile on the parapets and arms drive for the ford.
Calling every gentleman! Steel and anvil strike.
Red blood beyond the waterway—carries the pagan pike.
Goodnight,...
Storms outside surround your sleeping hero boy.
Alas! Amass dear gentlemen,

Surprise! All wise and wearied men—again I call you more.
Light the fright in fools afar lest they come here cold.
For daughters and good mothers—the souls not to be sold.
Rise up! All true gentlemen—garner here a horde.
Stones pile on the parapets and arms drive for the ford.
Calling every gentleman! Steel and anvil strike.
Red blood beyond the waterway—carries the pagan pike.
Goodnight,...

Being Truly Happy
Write about this night
This truly wonderful
Emotional roller-coaster
I've never
cried so much
Tears of happiness of joy
Of love that being
A parent
Can bring
Have you
Ever in your life
Spent hours
Of unadulterated
Laughter
Tears filling buckets
Having nine one one
On speed dial
Heart ready to burst
Never having
Knowing such love
Just a look is all
It took
One look
Crazy right
I've always thought
Impossible
Until
Tonight
We filled those buckets ...

Peace
The boys meander finding places to hide,
Coming together at nighttime near the bonfires
That cast shadows on ruined buildings.
No school, no work, distant families
They come together out of loneliness.
They are young enough to feel
The lifeblood of heaven
And sensitive enough to feel
The sting of submerged hells.
They live on the crust of hell
Still able to rejoice in the sky.
They do not look much beyond
Food and shelter and friendships.
These boys, growing into manhood,
Need to find their places of love....
Coming together at nighttime near the bonfires
That cast shadows on ruined buildings.
No school, no work, distant families
They come together out of loneliness.
They are young enough to feel
The lifeblood of heaven
And sensitive enough to feel
The sting of submerged hells.
They live on the crust of hell
Still able to rejoice in the sky.
They do not look much beyond
Food and shelter and friendships.
These boys, growing into manhood,
Need to find their places of love....

Holding Hands in the Dark
A boy took my hand at recess and I was
dizzy for the rest of that sunny day.
I crossed a threshold wondering
what thrills were beyond?
His hand was soft and plain.
Adult lives grow complex, hard, and dark.
And so, in honor of our darkness,
we meet for this unholy rendezvous
in this place without light.
Like our children,
we need the hands of another.
Hold tightly as we dance to ancient
rhythms that grew from the shared
pleasures of our species.
Hold my hand and let us share the guilt of...
dizzy for the rest of that sunny day.

Mother's Life
You are the apple of your mothers eyes
You are the reason she is still alive
Drugs almost took her life before
But now she don’t do drugs no more
Now your all that she thinks about
Your the one she can’t be without
She’s trying her best to raise you right
She wants the best things for you in life
Some times she may be hard on you
Just remember she loves you
She doesn’t want you to finish her old life
She doesn’t want you to be the one to die
You are the reason she is still alive
Drugs almost took her life before
But now she don’t do drugs no more
Now your all that she thinks about
Your the one she can’t be without
She’s trying her best to raise you right
She wants the best things for you in life
Some times she may be hard on you
Just remember she loves you
She doesn’t want you to finish her old life
She doesn’t want you to be the one to die

DON'T BE UNGRATEFUL
As I lay here as the awakening of the sunrise, reaches the closer of my eyes as I feel the warmth of the sun. As it awakens me from the night shade, that once covered the light from my eyes. For as I lay here in solitude, absolute at peace with my senernity to comfort me, as the morning sun greets me letting me know that I am still alive. But yet as I prepare my mind for the journey ahead, I must remain with postivity over negativity. Even though I still not regret nothing that i have gone, and been through in my life, as I would do it the same way again. For I am bless to see another day...
